Couldn't agree with you more, Spider.
Witness the plonkers who tried to insist that the name of a car, Porsche had been making for nine years before the 'Twin Towers' were built, should be changed because of the US's way of saying the date that they were brought down.
That never occurred to me until you mentioned that here, even then, I had to stop and think for a few moments (yes, I'm slow on the up take), and I think that's my point too.
If one wants to seek out dreadful and hurtful innuendos from any name, then really, who has the problem ? And where's it going to stop / end ?
I'm so over this over the top silly, ridiculous and frankly stupid PC stuff. The intent of that too is having the opposite effect of what it started out doing, it's made a lot of people unnecessarily hyper-sensitive to it all.
When I was growing up, I took things to heart all too easy and in all reality, fell in to the group I just mentioned, seriously to my detriment. Of all things, it was when I joined the Moke Club I really learnt what a true sense of humor was and how it keeps one sane and gives you a 'cool' head. Having a sense of humor isn't just about having a laugh at something funny, it's an outlook on life and an attitude of having things knocked back a few gears. This PC rubbish has made so many people highly strung, that others see that and play them like guitars.
